The couple flew to New York to watch Austin and the Padres play Game 1 of the NL wild-card series against the Mets last Friday night. If they score even one run there, I think the game changes big-time.” Then he created one in the next inning and got out of it-I think that was the big difference in the game.

Freddie Freeman was intentionally walked to load the bases, and Will Smith flied out to center field, the Padres holding their 4-3 lead. Suárez, a 31-year-old rookie from Venezuela who played the previous five seasons in Japan, bailed out Padres ace Yu Darvish from that sixth-inning jam, but he got himself into trouble in the seventh when Cody Bellinger singled with one out and Betts doubled to left-center to put runners on second and third.īut Suárez got Trea Turner to ground out to Machado at third, the runners holding. He’s got a great arm and he was able to finish it.” So you gotta attack it and get it to Kim as fast as you can. “Gavin is a good runner, and he didn’t hit it hard, he didn’t hit it soft, it was kind of a tweener speed. “That was the pivotal play of the game,” Cronenworth said. Padres reliever Robert Suárez, who struck out Justin Turner with a 101-mph fastball for the first out of the sixth, wiggled out of a second-and-third, one-out jam in the seventh, and San Diego held on for a 5-3 Game 2 victory in front of 53,122 in Dodger Stadium, tying the series 1-1. The Dodgers gave the Padres too many chances to win, and San Diego exploited them for a 5-3 victory in Game 2 of the National League Division Series.
